Definitions
- the disclosure herein relates generally to a rapid response system to capture and contain oil from uncontrolled releases of hydrocarbons.
- Certain activities applicable to all water depths can be undertaken to improve well control, and to ensure plans are in place for well interventions and spill response, should such be required. For example, additional procedures involving rig inspections can be undertaken, and requirements implemented on blowout preventer certification and well design.
- the industry can also form, and has done so, multi-disciplinary task forces to further develop improved prevention, containment and recovery plans.
- US 445 6071 A1 discloses an oil collector for subsea blowouts comprising a collector element to receive fluids rising, in the water, from the wellhead, and a riser, connected to the collector element and extending thereabove to conduct fluid therefrom.
- the present disclosure relates to a containment system for offshore well control which is flexible, adaptable and for deployment within days and fully operational within weeks of an incident requiring well control.
- the system referred to herein as the Marine Well Containment System, or "MWCS,” can be deployed after a well control incident to capture and fully contain flowing oil and natural gas with no significant flow to the sea after deployment.
- MWCS Marine Well Containment System
- Embodiments of the system can be engineered to provide a capacity up to 15898730 (100,000 barrels) per day or more.
- the system seals the well via either a well connected system or a seabed connected system.
- the system provides at least the following advantages:
- a key advantage of embodiments of the present disclosure as compared to current response equipment is that it can be pre-engineered, constructed, tested and ready for rapid deployment.
- the embodiments disclosed herein are more flexible and adaptable and as a result provide the ability to respond to a wider range of potential response situations.
- the system is better equipped to handle weather conditions and other challenges that arise in far offshore, deepwater environments, and the system can be maintained in a state of continuous operational readiness. From a state of continuous operational readiness, mobilization can be carried out rapidly.
- the marine well containment system for producing fluids from a marine oil and gas well comprises a subsea containment assembly.
- the marine well containment system further includes a blowout preventer ("BOP"), a riser assembly involving a vertical pipe riser and a flexible riser connected to the subsea containment assembly via flexible jumpers or umbilicals, or both, and a capture vessel connected to the riser assembly, wherein the fluids produced from the blown out well are captured by the subsea containment assembly and piped through the riser assembly to the capture vessel.
- BOP blowout preventer
- the marine well containment system for producing fluids from a marine oil and gas well may be used where damage is believed to have occurred to the blowout preventer or casing of the well.
- the marine well containment system may include a capture caisson installed around the blowout preventer and into the seafloor.
- embodiments of the present disclosure include subsea containment equipment connected by risers to vessels that can safely capture, store and offload the oil.
- the specially designed subsea containment equipment is connected by manifolds, jumpers and risers to the capture vessels that will store and offload the oil.
- the subsea components of the MWCS include subsystems which are well-known in industry, and subsystems designed specifically for use in the MWCS.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) is connected to the damaged well. Once connected, the subsea containment assembly (112) prevents oil from escaping into the water.
- the containment assembly (112) is equipped with a suite of adapters and connectors to interact with various interface points such as the wellhead, blowout preventer stack, lower marine riser package casing strings, and capture caisson.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) allows an operator to establish sealed connections with subsea drilling equipment. The sealed connections can then be used to re-enter the wellbore through the previously installed casing,
- the subsea containment assembly (112) includes multiple production and venting outlets, which can be used for producing or venting.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) also includes numerous ports through which inhibitors for hydrates, wax, corrosion, and scale can be injected. It also provides a means to monitor subsea pressures and temperatures through gauges installed therein. It also provides a means to facilitate a possible well shut-in.
- Figures 1 , 3, and 4 show the containment assembly (112) installed on the BOP (111).
- the containment assembly (112) is show with three rams (141), but the present disclosure is not limited to that number. All connections are standard flange designs widely used in industry, and may take advantage of multiple adapters to ensure connectability with systems that are used or may be used in the future. This is consistent with the standard, modularized, kit-deployment philosophy of the MWCS.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) may include a connection above the rams for connecting to a drilling riser or risers (not shown). Every ram has choke and kill ability which may be used facilitate the various operations that are required.
- the present disclosure contemplates various arrangements with respect to the BOP and the components of the containment assembly (112), in particular, the relationship with respect to the collection and venting outlets, the BOP and the ram portion of the containment assembly.
- the ram portion (141) of the containment assembly (112) is separated from the BOP (111) by the multiple collection and venting outlets (142) of the subsea containment assembly.
- the ram portion (141) of the containment assembly (112) is not separated from the BOP (111) by the multiple collection and venting outlets (142) of the subsea containment assembly.
- the multiple collection and venting outlets (142) of the subsea containment assembly (112) are separated from the BOP (111) by the ram portion (141) of the subsea containment assembly.
- the subsea containment assembly comprises more than one set of multiple collection and venting outlets (142) separated by at least one ram.
- Figure 1 depicts the situation in which there is no significant damage to the BOP.
- the containment assembly (112) can be attached to the BOP using normal connections.
- the containment assembly (112) is latched to the BOP in the same manner as the riser.
- a capture caisson subsea containment assembly (151) is implemented, as depicted in Figure 4 .
- the capture caisson (151) encloses the BOP (111).
- the containment assembly (112) can be connected to the top of the capture caisson (151) and thus allow pumping and lifting of fluids, if desired.
- Figure 4 depicts containment assembly (112) connected to the BOP.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) may be the same both for the caissonless embodiment of Figure 1 , and the caisson embodiment of Figure 4 .
- connections to a riser adapter may occur, or to a casing string, depending on the situation being addressed.
- This alternate embodiment in consistent with the kit-based philosophy of the MWCS. Note that in each case the subsea containment assembly (112) offers a first response mechanism which may allow production to proceed through a riser.
- capture caisson (151) may be used to enclose a damaged connector or leak outside the well casing.
- These capture caissons (151) employ suction pile technology to create a seal with the seabed that prevents seawater from entering the assemblies and prevents hydrate formation.
- the capture caisson (151) provides for a unique application of suction pile technology to provide a circular ring assembly that penetrates into the seabed to form a secure foundation and seal around the damaged well.
- the containment assembly (112) is connected to the BOP in place, over the wellhead if the BOP has been removed, or directly to the capture caisson.
- the capture caissons (151) of the present disclosure incorporate differences from most suction piles.
- the donut shaped system (151) of Figure 4 is an annular caisson in which the drawdown occurs by pulling down between the inner and outer walls, to thus obtain the pile function, with the fluid path in the center of the caisson.
- the cap shown in Figure 4 is installed thereafter, or the cap is installed first and used as a guide to ensure that the caisson is installed in the desired vertical orientation. Note that the cap may not have a top seal in some applications, in particular where a space exists between BOP and cap.
- the capture caisson is installed or used without any mechanical connection at the top of the BOP.
- the capture caisson is installed or used with a mechanical connection at the top of the BOP.
- more than one capture caisson is used. For example, it may be necessary to use a two capture caisson embodiment for a given incident.
- a capture caisson embodiment the skilled artisan may use the same approach as he would when considering a one capture caisson embodiment. For example, if the BOP (111) remains in place, a capture caisson (151) is positioned over the BOP for installation. In an alternative embodiment where the BOP is no longer on the seafloor at the location of the well, a capture caisson (151) is installed directly over the well. In either case, the length of the capture caisson will be sized to accommodate the local soil conditions. This again facilitates the design of the MWCS as being modular and fit to purpose.
- Embodiments of the capture caisson subsystem may involve attachments to the subsea containment assembly (112), the BOP (111), or to casing to ensure a strong foundation is established for stability of the caisson, which would otherwise be subject to potential uplift failure.
- mechanisms will be required to maintain the stability of the caisson and the well, maintain the effectiveness of the foundation, and adapt caisson transfer loads to the well casing.
- Embodiments of the capture caisson subsystem may also involve use of an artificial lift system to ensure back pressure is minimized, again to ensure no uplift but rather stability of the caisson.
- the artificial lift capability designed into the system further reduces the risk of back pressure from the hydrostatic head resulting from up to the design limit of 3048 m (10,000 feet ) water column.
- the multiple collection and venting outlets (142) of the subsea containment assembly also facilitate monitoring backpressure in the well, facilitate venting when necessary, and a return to collection thereafter.
- the caisson (151) can be designed to provide a complete capping of the flow, if desired, without a significant change in the other equipment of the MWCS.
- the monitoring and minimizing of back pressure on the flowing well is achieved through the large, multiple flexible flowlines (105), rigid risers (103) originating from a subsea manifold (110) connected to a subsea containment spool mounted on the subsea BOP, either directly to the well or directly to the casing strings.
- An advantage of the subsea containment assembly, whether or not a capture caisson is required, is that it can be installed from any available vessel of opportunity, such as drilling rigs, work vessels, installation vessels, and the like.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) is therefore designed to be immediately available, and thus compact and lightweight.
- the containment assembly (112) may be installed through a moonpool of an offshore vessel.
- the caisson (151) may also be installed through a moonpool, though given its likely larger size larger deployment vessels may be required.
- caissons (151) may be constructed of several sizes, or modular, to ensure adaptability to the situation being addressed.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) captures flow from the well and directs the flow to a riser assembly (103) through flexible pipe (105).
- Riser assemblies (103) may include a seabed foundation, vertical pipe, buoyancy tanks and a flexible pipe (106), or umbilical (102) configured to connect to the capture vessels (101).
- the vertical pipe portion of the riser will in most embodiments be a mechanically connected standard casing-string type self-standing riser, while the catenary portion nearer the surface, as depicted in Figure 1 , may be flexible pipe risers.
- the riser assemblies depicted in Figure 1 are designed to quickly disconnect from capture vessels (101) so that all subsea equipment stays in place in the event of a hunicane or other severe weather. This is accomplished by way of quick disconnects associated with umbilical (102) and flexible pipe (106).
- the subsea containment assembly (112) is capable of being used for a top kill option.
- the assembly has a triple ram (141) to facilitate shearing of what may be in the well and to facilitate a drive-off.
- the accumulator unit (114) for example, whose purpose is to trickle charge, through an umbilical (113) stored hydraulic pressure, to subsea components is a generally standard operation in industry. However, in the MWCS it is envisioned that embodiments involve a self-contained module for reliability and convenience, in contrast to the standard approach of installing such units directly on the subsea equipment at issue.
- the accumulator unit (114) may be installed on the seabed as shown in Figure 1 .
- the subsea system will be supplied with the necessary hydraulic/electric controls to facilitate chemical injection of inhibitors (such as inhibitors for hydrate, wax, corrosion and scale) through an umbilical.
- inhibitors such as inhibitors for hydrate, wax, corrosion and scale
- An additional system component (115) is available to inject dispersant into the subsea containment assembly (e.g. in the event of hurricane or other severe weather requiring disconnect from capture vessels).
- This dispersant fluid system is one of a number of potential embodiments.
- One approach might be to implement a system involving a standard kit of large bladders containing dispersant, each connected through a manifold into the system's electric motor which could operate for continuous flow of dispersant, as required during severe weather. Such a system would not be required otherwise, as dispersant could be provided through alternate means.
- Such large bladders could be recharged during normal weather operations, via an umbilical.
- An alternate way of recharging would be to install a completely new bladder bank, and retrieve the old bank for recharging and subsequent redeployment.
- a subsea manifold (110) is used to distribute produced fluids from the subsea containment assembly (112) to riser assemblies (103).
- the subsea manifold (110) is shown connected to multiple riser assemblies (103) and more than one capture vessel (101).
- the manifold (110) is configured for flexibility so that it may be used with a variety of types and locations of containment systems/vessels, and thus be simple and compact.
- the manifold (110) may also vent directly to the sea if necessary.
- Installation of the subsea subsystems can be by any vessel of opportunity.
- All subsea subsystems are designed to allow remotely operated vehicle intervention and other control-override options.
- the system includes capture vessels (101) that process, store and offload the oil to shuttle tankers (109) which take the oil to shore for further processing.
- Capture vessels include, but are not limited to modified tankers, existing drill ships and extended well-test vessels.
- the system takes advantage of modular process equipment that is installed on the capture vessels, as depicted in Figure 2 .
- the modular process equipment connects to the riser assembly and may include, but are not limited to operations such as separating of oil from gas, flaring of gas (137) and safely storing and offloading oil to shuttle tankers.
- Figure 2 is a schematic of a capture vessel and the modularized equipment of the MWCS.
- the modular equipment found on the capture vessel (101) includes but is not limited to an offloading module (133), a utility module (131), living quarters (132), a turret module (135), a subsea support module (136), a 25KBD platformer (134) or (138) or any combination thereof.
- the capture vessels is able to disconnect and move away from the storm for the safety of the operating personnel. Once the severe weather conditions pass and the vessels return, they are capable of being operational within days.
- the capture vessels are designed to be dynamically positioned for the purpose of the MWCS and thus are able to accept the required modular equipment shown in Figure 2 .
- This element of the MWCS allows for the MWCS to operate in weather conditions that are atypical.
- the modular swivel system shown as the Turret Module (135) in Figure 2 , is in particular an MWCS-specific concept designed specifically to facilitate the objectives of the MWCS.
- shuttle tankers (109) also referred to as the offloading tankers or vessels, will be generally standard in industry. Offloading from the capture vessel will be achieved via bow offloading systems to a dynamically positioned shuttle tanker (109) fitted with a similar bow offloading system.
- survey equipment e.g. remotely operated vehicle surface tender vessels
- the site of the incident is surveyed to assess the kind of response that is required and to assess the equipment that is required.
- the modular equipment is installed on the capture vessels, and/or on any other vessels of opportunity.
- the subsea containment assembly (112) and the capture caissons (151), if necessary, are installed on the appropriate vessels.
- the vessels (101) are used to install the subsea containment system (112) on top of the BOP (111). Simultaneously, other vessels may install the risers (103) and riser foundations, and the manifold (110) and dispersant fluid systems (115).
- a caisson (151) is deployed, then the placement of the caisson takes place first, or after the installation of the cap as explained above. In some situations, the cap is used as a guide mechanism for the caisson installation. The caisson installation is followed by the other operations as noted above.
- the MWCS is deployed in shallow water.
- the only significant design change is that the vertical self-standing riser is not required, in general.
- the MWCS that has been deployed in shallow water may be installed with only a flexible pipe portion of a riser in a lazy wave configuration.
